    True, option 2, even if not giving you your goal gives you at a minimum experience and hopefully some salty but funny stories. As I have heard said, few people lay on their death beds bemoaning the risks they took, but many regret the things they never tried. Now with that all said, we are a...

    Bottom line reality here. You have three possible paths : Try and succeed Try and fail Don't try If your goal is to be in a happy and loving relationship now or in the future then "Don't Try" is the one path which will never get you there. Option 2 hurts a lot, Option 3 is a slow miserable...

    Dating

    OK. @Koushirou , I'm gonna frame this with my up front full disclosure. I'm in my 50's, happily married for over 20 years now. But I also stalled and delayed about getting married and being "serious" for various reasons I kept convincing myself were valid in my 20's that I now look back on and...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    We have those where I work, we call them boomerangs. As @ShakyJake mentioned, sometimes there is a definite "grass is greener" effect. In my company's case, it is often they go to chase startup money/stock and it doesn't pan out. My company though... it's facing a situation now where they did...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    The yield in stablecoins comes from the fact that to "peg" a stable coin to the dollar you have to effectively hold "dollar reserves" which the stablecoin providers do via holding treasuries for the most part. Those treasuries and other "reserve dollar" devices tend to generate yield, and...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    When allowed to work without government interference being orchestrated by business (i.e. "Crony Capitalism")? Surprisingly well. The argument from the banks is that they don't want to allow exchanges to simply offer the yield they get on stablecoins in their exchange to simply flow to the...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    They haven't won quite yet.... The coinbase CEO basically flipped the double bird on the deal today. This tweet explains it pretty well and is my exact stance on it. This needs to be a decision made by the market. Which will piss off the banks.

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    So apparently the company which does $USDC (Circle) dropped 18% in market cap. The reason? The "Compromise" they came up with for the upcoming cypto legislation that was supposed to give clarity to the crypto industry is now that you aren't allowed to pay yield or interest on stablecoin...

    You know you're getting old when.....

    Some of my fondest memories are as a kid learning to work on cars from my grandfather. Still remember being painted black with grease up to my shoulders it felt like when I did an engine replace/rebuild for the 66 Mustang I had my senior year in high school. Now cars are deliberately built to...

    Spider-Man: Brand New Day (2026)

    I'm thinking Banner is there as a surrogate for them not having access to the FF yet, and Tony Stark being dead. In the comics when Spiderman needs "big head science help" he usually goes to the FF to the point for a long time in the comics they essentially consider him family. (Another...

    RIP Chuck Norris

    I heard he got a note saying illegals were trying to sneak into heaven. He didn't die, he just volunteered to go handle the problem.
